A good nights rest is essential for effective thinking and learning. Lack of sleep can hurt these cognitive processes by impairing alertness, attention, concentration, reasoning and problem solving.

It's the beginning of a new semester and no one wants to fall into bad habits that could end up jeopardizing their grades. MINDBODYGREEN has some tips that can help you get into better sleeping habits.

Break has just ended and most of us have already settled back into our routines, but whether you are in high school or college, school can be stressful. Taralynn from Undressed Skeleton has some tips in avoiding/decreasing the stress when it comes to eating at school.

"What does stress do? It causes breakouts, panic attacks, binge eating and sleepless nights. Staying healthy can reduce that stress. There are so many ways you can enjoy school, parties, and activities without damaging your health. I have learned a lot through my own experiences, and I’m going to share those tips with you! Teachers, these can be for you too!"

Staying healthy in college can be difficult. Your fridge may be too small, no oven and roommates who live off junk food. It may be easier to stop at fast food restaurants or eat in the cafeteria....

So the best four years of your life will also be the most convenient.

I was glad that Fitness Pal made the list. I've been a member for a bit less than 3 months and I've lost weight because of it. It lets you set your goal to suit your needs. My brother has his set to maintain his current weigh and I have mine set to lose a certain amount of pounds in a certain amount of time. It's free and it is also accessible from your computer.

Whenever possible, I substitute supplies like Clorox cleaning wipes or other cleaning supplies with harsh/harmful chemicals for greener products like those from Seventh Generation. There isn’t a huge price difference and you’ll find that they won’t leave a distinct smell behind like most cleaning products will.

There are a few things that I wouldn’t suggest needing-based on my own personal experience-like a LARGE trashcan. I used a medium-sized one and it got the job done. You won’t want one too big as to be tempted to take it out less when you’re throwing bits of food or other things away that may smell after being in your room for just a week. A small, but not too small of a trash can will prevent this from happening. Also, those grocery bags you might get from the grocery store? Use them for trashcan liners instead of buying your own (unless they’re eco-friendly ones, of course!).

Talk to your roommate and see if one of you can bring the fridge and the other bring the TV. Of course, if you don’t feel like you like your roomie right off the bat, it might be better to bring your own stuff. There is usually a communal TV available in dorms. You can always go the less-distracting route and watch all your shows on the weekend when you have more time to goof off, too.

I've found all of these-except for the toilet paper one-to be completely true for myself. I strongly suggest spending the $8-10 on that first aid box at Target/Walmart. Neosporin, band aids, tweezers, hydrogen peroxide...you don't think about it until you need it, believe me!

Many of us have already, or are in the process of, moving out of our dorms. It's never too early to organize for the next semester, especially if it's during the summer and a lot of students are looking for things to keep busy and be productive (I did say a lot, not all (; ). Here are some tips in organizing your things before returning to school.
